He administered the Holy Communion to President Mahama and his family, and anointed him for the next phase of his life.<\/p>\n

The rest of the clergy present were Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Willams, Rev Michael Ayesu, Rev Ben Tettey and Rev Rtd Ernest Agyei. Others were Rev Andrew N Awintia, Rev Aaron Fant and Pastor Boateng Sarpong.<\/p>\n
